and we did get whipped in the presidential election. and that's not something that we take lightly. >> but so far, there is no consensus about how to fix them. republican national committee chairman, reince priebus, is expected to be re-elected today, after quietly making nice with ron paul supporters and heading off any challenge to his leadership. he'll call for a, quote, republican renewal, in a speech this afternoon. but the rnc committee drafting the plan for change is made up of party insiders, rather than anyone who's likely to break china. meanwhile, republican governors are griping privately and publicly that the gop in washington is doing nothing to help the republican brand, after being schooled by new jersey governor chris christie. washington republicans got a talking-to last night from louisiana governor, bobby jindal, who said the gop has to stop being a stupid party and talk like adults. >> today's conservatism is completely wrapped up in solving the hideous mess that is the federal budget. we have seemed to have an obse

when do vice presidents get elected president? when they run as a sequel. george w. bush ran as reagan 2. when they found out he wasn't, he lost. al gore ran against clinton. left clinton at home and he lost. one of joe biden's great strengths is his loyalty. he's respected, i think, on both sides of the aisle for one if he tells you something, he's going to do it. he keeps his word. two, the loyalty to the president. so, he gets all the benefits of the good things that obama's done, but he almost gets a pass on the negatives because while he's the vice president, he has to be loyal. so, if hillary clinton for health reasons or otherwise decides not to go, he's going to we, i think, by far the strongest contender. >> do you think he can take on hillary clinton? i want to cover that. i want to cover that, by the way. >> i don't think anybody can take on hillary clinton. right now she is a prezumpative favorite. democrats need joe biden. they need him now because he's the best politician in this town. he understands there are three branches of government and you have t

especially after re-election. your first-term policies seem to have been validated, that you look at those results and you think you're all powerful. the famous example in recent history is george w. bush. in 2005, remember he came out and did that press conference and said he had political capital and meant to spend it and the first thing he tried to do was pass a plan to reform social security that was just destroyed by the democrats, and then katrina happened. and his presidency was over by the end of 2005, at least the second term. so, you know, i spent a lot of time reporting on this the last year, talking to white house people, and they were very acutely aware of the dangers hidden in a second term. and i think the -- you know, i think what they'll be looking for is not overinterpreting that mandate, putting out an agenda one, that he campaigned on. not doing things he didn't talk about in the campaign, but two, trying to find some kind of bipartisan compromise in a congress that is very polarized. >> this i
